I read the reviews first, they all were definitely true! Braxton was our server, he was super attentive. He recommended we get the kickin Cajun sauce hot on the crab and crawfish which was beyond good, I rate this restaurant a 10/10. The flavor was delicious, the seafood was fresh to taste. The crawfish are indeed very small, but the flavor and tenderness was there for sure! I will be going back for more!! Over all experience was great and we had spent about $145 for two adults...

This was my 2nd visit and with the same waitress(Leap C); service was excellent, food was very good and will back again! Also will recommend anyone wanting some good Cajun-Vietnamese cuisine. Looking forward to my next visit!

From the moment you walk in, the vibe is energetic and fun, and the service is fast, friendly, and on point. The crawfish are always perfectly cooked—juicy, tender, and generously seasoned. Their signature Cajun-style sauce is unmatched: bold, garlicky, buttery, and packed with flavor in every bite. You can really tell they don’t cut corners here.

The spice levels are...
